¹The high priest said, “Are these things so?”

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) the high priest^G749, Are^G1487^G686^G2192^(G5719) these things^G5023 so^G3779?

² He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G5346^(G5713), Men^G435, brethren^G80, and^G2532 fathers^G3962, hearken^G191^(G5657); The God^G2316 of glory^G1391 appeared^G3700^(G5681) unto our^G2257 father^G3962 Abraham^G11, when he was^G5607^(G5752) in^G1722 Mesopotamia^G3318, before^G4250^G2228 he^G846 dwelt^G2730^(G5658) in^G1722 Charran^G5488,

³ and said to him, ‘Get out of your land and away from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.’

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Get thee^G1831^(G5628) out of^G1537 thy^G4675 country^G1093, and^G2532 from^G1537 thy^G4675 kindred^G4772, and^G2532 come^G1204^(G5773) into^G1519 the land^G1093 which^G3739^G302 I shall shew^G1166^(G5692) thee^G4671.

⁴ Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans and lived in Haran. From there, when his father was dead, God moved him into this land where you are now living.

KJVThen^G5119 came he^G1831^(G5631) out of^G1537 the land^G1093 of the Chaldaeans^G5466, and dwelt^G2730^(G5656) in^G1722 Charran^G5488: and from thence^G2547, when^G3326 his^G846 father^G3962 was dead^G599^(G5629), he removed^G3351^(G5656) him^G846 into^G1519 this^G5026 land^G1093, wherein^G1519^G3739 ye^G5210 now^G3568 dwell^G2730^(G5719).

⁵ He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his offspring after him, when he still had no child.

KJVAnd^G2532 he gave^G1325^(G5656) him^G846 none^G3756 inheritance^G2817 in^G1722 it^G846, no, not^G3761 so much as to set^G968 his foot^G4228 on^G968: yet^G2532 he promised^G1861^(G5662) that he would give^G1325^(G5629) it^G846 to him^G846 for^G1519 a possession^G2697, and^G2532 to his^G846 seed^G4690 after^G3326 him^G846, when as yet he^G846 had^G5607^(G5752) no^G3756 child^G5043.

⁶ God spoke in this way: that his offspring would live as aliens in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.

KJVAnd^G1161 God^G2316 spake^G2980^(G5656) on this wise^G3779, That^G3754 his^G846 seed^G4690 should^G2071^(G5704) sojourn^G3941 in^G1722 a strange^G245 land^G1093; and^G2532 that they should bring^G1402 them^G846 into bondage^G1402^(G5692), and^G2532 entreat them evil^G2559^(G5692) four hundred^G5071 years^G2094.

⁷ ‘I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,’ said God, ‘and after that they will come out and serve me in this place.’

KJVAnd^G2532 the nation^G1484 to whom^G3739^G1437 they shall be in bondage^G1398^(G5661) will^G2919 I^G1473 judge^G2919^(G5692), said^G2036^(G5627) God^G2316: and^G2532 after^G3326 that^G5023 shall they come forth^G1831^(G5695), and^G2532 serve^G3000^(G5692) me^G3427 in^G1722 this^G5129 place^G5117.

⁸ He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.

KJVAnd^G2532 he gave^G1325^(G5656) him^G846 the covenant^G1242 of circumcision^G4061: and^G2532 so^G3779 Abraham begat^G1080^(G5656) Isaac^G2464, and^G2532 circumcised^G4059^(G5627) him^G846 the eighth^G3590 day^G2250; and^G2532 Isaac^G2464 begat Jacob^G2384; and^G2532 Jacob^G2384 begat the twelve^G1427 patriarchs^G3966.

⁹ “The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt. God was with him

KJVAnd^G2532 the patriarchs^G3966, moved with envy^G2206^(G5660), sold^G591^(G5639) Joseph^G2501 into^G1519 Egypt^G125: but^G2532 God^G2316 was^G2258^(G5713) with^G3326 him^G846,

¹⁰ and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

KJVAnd^G2532 delivered^G1807^(G5639) him^G846 out of^G1537 all^G3956 his^G846 afflictions^G2347, and^G2532 gave^G1325^(G5656) him^G846 favour^G5485 and^G2532 wisdom^G4678 in the sight^G1726 of Pharaoh^G5328 king^G935 of Egypt^G125; and^G2532 he made^G2525^(G5656) him^G846 governor^G2233^(G5740) over^G1909 Egypt^G125 and^G2532 all^G3650 his^G846 house^G3624.

¹¹ Now a famine came over all the land of Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction. Our fathers found no food.

KJVNow^G1161 there came^G2064^(G5627) a dearth^G3042 over^G1909 all^G3650 the land^G1093 of Egypt^G125 and^G2532 Chanaan^G5477, and^G2532 great^G3173 affliction^G2347: and^G2532 our^G2257 fathers^G3962 found^G2147^(G5707) no^G3756 sustenance^G5527.

¹² But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.

KJVBut^G1161 when Jacob^G2384 heard^G191^(G5660) that there was^G5607^(G5752) corn^G4621 in^G1722 Egypt^G125, he sent out^G1821^(G5656) our^G2257 fathers^G3962 first^G4412.

¹³ On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph’s family was revealed to Pharaoh.

KJVAnd^G2532 at^G1722 the second^G1208 time Joseph^G2501 was made known^G319^(G5681) to his^G846 brethren^G80; and^G2532 Joseph's^G2501 kindred^G1085 was made^G1096^(G5633) known^G5318 unto Pharaoh^G5328.

¹⁴ Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.

KJVThen^G1161 sent^G649^(G5660) Joseph^G2501, and called^G3333^(G5668) his^G846 father^G3962 Jacob^G2384 to him, and^G2532 all^G3956 his^G846 kindred^G4772,^G1722 threescore^G1440 and fifteen^G4002 souls^G5590.

¹⁵ Jacob went down into Egypt and he died, himself and our fathers;

KJVSo^G1161 Jacob^G2384 went down^G2597^(G5627) into^G1519 Egypt^G125, and^G2532 died^G5053^(G5656), he^G846, and^G2532 our^G2257 fathers^G3962,

¹⁶ and they were brought back to Shechem and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor of Shechem.

KJVAnd^G2532 were carried over^G3346^(G5681) into^G1519 Sychem^G4966, and^G2532 laid^G5087^(G5681) in^G1722 the sepulchre^G3418 that^G3739 Abraham^G11 bought^G5608^(G5662) for a sum^G5092 of money^G694 of^G3844 the sons^G5207 of Emmor^G1697 the father^G3588 of Sychem^G4966.

¹⁷ “But as the time of the promise came close which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

KJVBut^G1161 when^G2531 the time^G5550 of the promise^G1860 drew nigh^G1448^(G5707), which^G3739 God^G2316 had sworn^G3660^(G5656) to Abraham^G11, the people^G2992 grew^G837^(G5656) and^G2532 multiplied^G4129^(G5681) in^G1722 Egypt^G125,

¹⁸ until there arose a different king who didn’t know Joseph.

KJVTill^G891^G3739 another^G2087 king^G935 arose^G450^(G5627), which^G3739 knew^G1492^(G5715) not^G3756 Joseph^G2501.

¹⁹ The same took advantage of our race and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to abandon their babies, so that they wouldn’t stay alive.

KJVThe same^G3778 dealt subtilly^G2686^(G5666) with our^G2257 kindred^G1085, and evil entreated^G2559^(G5656) our^G2257 fathers^G3962, so that^G4160^(G5721) they cast out^G1570 their^G846 young children^G1025, to the end^G1519 they might^G2225 not^G3361 live^G2225^(G5745).

²⁰ At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome to God. He was nourished three months in his father’s house.

KJVIn^G1722 which^G3739 time^G2540 Moses^G3475 was born^G1080^(G5681), and^G2532 was^G2258^(G5713) exceeding^G2316 fair^G791, and^G3739 nourished up^G397^(G5648) in^G1722 his^G846 father's^G3962 house^G3624 three^G5140 months^G3376:

²¹ When he was abandoned, Pharaoh’s daughter took him up and reared him as her own son.

KJVAnd^G1161 when he^G846 was cast out^G1620^(G5685), Pharaoh's^G5328 daughter^G2364 took^G337 him^G846 up^G337^(G5639), and^G2532 nourished^G397^(G5668) him^G846 for^G1519 her own^G1438 son^G5207.

²² Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.

KJVAnd^G2532 Moses^G3475 was learned^G3811^(G5681) in all^G3956 the wisdom^G4678 of the Egyptians^G124, and^G1161 was^G2258^(G5713) mighty^G1415 in^G1722 words^G3056 and^G2532 in^G1722 deeds^G2041.

²³ But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 he^G846 was full^G4137^(G5712) forty years^G5063 old^G5550, it came^G305^(G5627) into^G1909 his^G846 heart^G2588 to visit^G1980^(G5664) his^G846 brethren^G80 the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474.

²⁴ Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.

KJVAnd^G2532 seeing^G1492^(G5631) one^G5100 of them suffer wrong^G91^(G5746), he defended^G292^(G5662) him, and^G2532 avenged^G1557^G4160^(G5656) him that was oppressed^G2669^(G5746), and smote^G3960^(G5660) the Egyptian^G124:

²⁵ He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they didn’t understand.

KJVFor^G1161 he supposed^G3543^(G5707) his^G846 brethren^G80 would have understood^G4920^(G5721) how^G3754 that God^G2316 by^G1223 his^G846 hand^G5495 would deliver^G1325^(G5719)^G4991 them^G846: but^G1161 they understood^G4920^(G5656) not^G3756.

²⁶ “The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, ‘Sirs, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?’

KJVAnd^G5037 the next^G1966^(G5752) day^G2250 he shewed himself^G3700^(G5681) unto them^G846 as they strove^G3164^(G5736), and^G2532 would have set^G4900^(G5656) them^G846 at^G1519 one again^G1515, saying^G2036^(G5631), Sirs^G435, ye^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) brethren^G80; why^G2444 do ye wrong^G91^(G5719) one to another^G240?

²⁷ But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?

KJVBut^G1161 he that did^G91 his neighbour^G4139 wrong^G91^(G5723) thrust^G683 him^G846 away^G683^(G5662), saying^G2036^(G5631), Who^G5101 made^G2525^(G5656) thee^G4571 a ruler^G758 and^G2532 a judge^G1348 over^G1909 us^G2248?

²⁸ Do you want to kill me as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’

KJVWilt^G3361^G2309^(G5719) thou^G4771 kill^G337^(G5629) me^G3165, as^G3739^G5158 thou diddest^G337^(G5627) the Egyptian^G124 yesterday^G5504?

²⁹ Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.

KJVThen^G1161 fled^G5343^(G5627) Moses^G3475 at^G1722 this^G5129 saying^G3056, and^G2532 was^G1096^(G5633) a stranger^G3941 in^G1722 the land^G1093 of Madian^G3099, where^G3757 he begat^G1080^(G5656) two^G1417 sons^G5207.

³⁰ “When forty years were fulfilled, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

KJVAnd^G2532 when forty^G5062 years^G2094 were expired^G4137^(G5685), there appeared^G3700^(G5681) to him^G846 in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048 of mount^G3735 Sina^G4614 an angel^G32 of the Lord^G2962 in^G1722 a flame^G5395 of fire^G4442 in a bush^G942.

³¹ When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, the voice of the Lord came to him,

KJVWhen^G1161 Moses^G3475 saw^G1492^(G5631) it, he wondered^G2296^(G5656) at the sight^G3705: and^G1161 as he^G846 drew near^G4334^(G5740) to behold^G2657^(G5658) it, the voice^G5456 of the Lord^G2962 came^G1096^(G5633) unto^G4314 him^G846,

³² ‘I am the God of your fathers: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’ Moses trembled and dared not look.

KJVSaying, I^G1473 am the God^G2316 of thy^G4675 fathers^G3962, the God^G2316 of Abraham^G11, and^G2532 the God^G2316 of Isaac^G2464, and^G2532 the God^G2316 of Jacob^G2384. Then^G1161 Moses^G3475 trembled^G1096^(G5637)^G1790, and durst^G5111^(G5707) not^G3756 behold^G2657^(G5658).

³³ The Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you stand is holy ground.

KJVThen^G1161 said^G2036^(G5627) the Lord^G2962 to him^G846, Put off^G3089^(G5657) thy shoes^G5266 from thy^G4675 feet^G4228: for^G1063 the place^G5117 where^G1722^G3739 thou standest^G2476^(G5758) is^G2076^(G5748) holy^G40 ground^G1093.

³⁴ I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you into Egypt.’

KJVI have seen^G1492^(G5631), I have seen^G1492^(G5627) the affliction^G2561 of my^G3450 people^G2992 which^G3588 is in^G1722 Egypt^G125, and^G2532 I have heard^G191^(G5656) their^G846 groaning^G4726, and^G2532 am come down^G2597^(G5627) to deliver^G1807^(G5641) them^G846. And^G2532 now^G3568 come^G1204^(G5773), I will send^G649^(G5692) thee^G4571 into^G1519 Egypt^G125.

³⁵ “This Moses whom they refused, saying, ‘Who made you a ruler and a judge?’—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.

KJVThis^G5126 Moses^G3475 whom^G3739 they refused^G720^(G5662), saying^G2036^(G5631), Who^G5101 made^G2525^(G5656) thee^G4571 a ruler^G758 and^G2532 a judge^G1348? the same^G5126 did God^G2316 send^G649^(G5656) to be a ruler^G758 and^G2532 a deliverer^G3086 by^G1722 the hand^G5495 of the angel^G32 which^G3588 appeared^G3700^(G5685) to him^G846 in^G1722 the bush^G942.

³⁶ This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.

KJVHe^G3778 brought^G1806 them^G846 out^G1806^(G5627), after that he had shewed^G4160^(G5660) wonders^G5059 and^G2532 signs^G4592 in^G1722 the land^G1093 of Egypt^G125, and^G2532 in^G1722 the Red^G2063 sea^G2281, and^G2532 in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048 forty^G5062 years^G2094.

³⁷ This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, ‘The Lord our God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.’

KJVThis^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) that Moses^G3475, which^G3588 said^G2036^(G5631) unto the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474, A prophet^G4396 shall^G450 the Lord^G2962 your^G5216 God^G2316 raise up^G450^(G5692) unto you^G5213 of^G1537 your^G5216 brethren^G80, like^G5613 unto me^G1691; him^G846 shall ye hear^G191^(G5695).

³⁸ This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received living revelations to give to us,

KJVThis^G3778 is he^G2076^(G5748), that was^G1096^(G5637) in^G1722 the church^G1577 in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048 with^G3326 the angel^G32 which^G3588 spake^G2980^(G5723) to him^G846 in^G1722 the mount^G3735 Sina^G4614, and^G2532 with our^G2257 fathers^G3962: who^G3739 received^G1209^(G5662) the lively^G2198^(G5723) oracles^G3051 to give^G1325^(G5629) unto us^G2254:

³⁹ to whom our fathers wouldn’t be obedient, but rejected him and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

KJVTo whom^G3739 our^G2257 fathers^G3962 would^G2309^(G5656) not^G3756 obey^G1096^(G5635)^G5255, but^G235 thrust him from them^G683^(G5662), and^G2532 in their^G846 hearts^G2588 turned back again^G4762^(G5648) into^G1519 Egypt^G125,

⁴⁰ saying to Aaron, ‘Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses who led us out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’

KJVSaying^G2036^(G5631) unto Aaron^G2, Make^G4160^(G5657) us^G2254 gods^G2316 to^G3739 go before^G4313^(G5695) us^G2257: for^G1063 as for this^G3778 Moses^G3475, which^G3739 brought^G1806^(G5627) us^G2248 out of^G1537 the land^G1093 of Egypt^G125, we wot^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 what^G5101 is become^G1096^(G5754) of him^G846.

⁴¹ They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

KJVAnd^G2532 they made a calf^G3447^(G5656) in^G1722 those^G1565 days^G2250, and^G2532 offered^G321^(G5627) sacrifice^G2378 unto the idol^G1497, and^G2532 rejoiced^G2165^(G5712) in^G1722 the works^G2041 of their own^G846 hands^G5495.

⁴² But God turned away and gave them up to serve the army of the sky, as it is written in the book of the prophets, ‘Did you offer to me slain animals and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

KJVThen^G1161 God^G2316 turned^G4762^(G5656), and^G2532 gave^G3860 them^G846 up^G3860^(G5656) to worship^G3000^(G5721) the host^G4756 of heaven^G3772; as it^G2531 is written^G1125^(G5769) in^G1722 the book^G976 of the prophets^G4396, O ye house^G3624 of Israel^G2474, have ye offered^G3361^G4374^(G5656) to me^G3427 slain beasts^G4968 and^G2532 sacrifices^G2378 by the space of forty^G5062 years^G2094 in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048?

⁴³ You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.’

KJVYea^G2532, ye took up^G353^(G5627) the tabernacle^G4633 of Moloch^G3434, and^G2532 the star^G798 of your^G5216 god^G2316 Remphan^G4481, figures^G5179 which^G3739 ye made^G4160^(G5656) to worship^G4352^(G5721) them^G846: and^G2532 I will carry^G3351 you^G5209 away^G3351^(G5692) beyond^G1900 Babylon^G897.

⁴⁴ “Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;

KJVOur^G2257 fathers^G3962 had^G2258^(G5713) the tabernacle^G4633 of witness^G3142^G1722 in^G1722 the wilderness^G2048, as^G2531 he had appointed^G1299^(G5668), speaking^G2980^(G5723) unto Moses^G3475, that he should make^G4160^(G5658) it^G846 according^G2596 to the fashion^G5179 that^G3739 he had seen^G3708^(G5715).

⁴⁵ which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations whom God drove out before the face of our fathers to the days of David,

KJVWhich^G3739 also^G2532 our^G2257 fathers^G3962 that came^G1237^(G5666) after brought in^G1521^(G5627) with^G3326 Jesus^G2424 into^G1722 the possession^G2697 of the Gentiles^G1484, whom^G3739 God^G2316 drave out^G1856^(G5656) before^G575 the face^G4383 of our^G2257 fathers^G3962, unto^G2193 the days^G2250 of David^G1138;

⁴⁷ But Solomon built him a house.

KJVBut^G1161 Solomon^G4672 built^G3618^(G5656) him^G846 an house^G3624.

⁴⁸ However, the Most High doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,

KJVHowbeit^G235 the most High^G5310 dwelleth^G2730^(G5719) not^G3756 in^G1722 temples^G3485 made with hands^G5499; as^G2531 saith^G3004^(G5719) the prophet^G4396,

⁴⁹ ‘heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?’ says the Lord. ‘Or what is the place of my rest?

KJVHeaven^G3772 is my^G3427 throne^G2362, and^G1161 earth^G1093 is my^G3450 footstool^G4228^G5286: what^G4169 house^G3624 will ye build^G3618^(G5692) me^G3427? saith^G3004^(G5719) the Lord^G2962: or^G2228 what^G5101 is the place^G5117 of my^G3450 rest^G2663?

⁵⁰ Didn’t my hand make all these things?’

KJVHath^G4160 not^G3780 my^G3450 hand^G5495 made^G4160^(G5656) all^G3956 these things^G5023?

⁵¹ “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit! As your fathers did, so you do.

KJVYe stiffnecked^G4644 and^G2532 uncircumcised^G564 in heart^G2588 and^G2532 ears^G3775, ye^G5210 do^G496 always^G104 resist^G496^(G5719) the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151: as^G5613 your^G5216 fathers^G3962 did, so^G2532 do ye^G5210.

⁵² Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.

KJVWhich^G5101 of the prophets^G4396 have^G1377 not^G3756 your^G5216 fathers^G3962 persecuted^G1377^(G5656)? and^G2532 they have slain^G615^(G5656) them which^G3588 shewed before^G4293^(G5660) of^G4012 the coming^G1660 of the Just One^G1342; of whom^G3739 ye^G5210 have been^G1096^(G5769) now^G3568 the betrayers^G4273 and^G2532 murderers^G5406:

⁵³ You received the law as it was ordained by angels, and didn’t keep it!”

KJVWho^G3748 have received^G2983^(G5627) the law^G3551 by^G1519 the disposition^G1296 of angels^G32, and^G2532 have^G5442 not^G3756 kept^G5442^(G5656) it.

⁵⁴ Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth.

KJVWhen^G1161 they heard^G191^(G5723) these things^G5023, they were cut^G1282^(G5712) to the heart^G2588^G846, and^G2532 they gnashed^G1031^(G5707) on^G1909 him^G846 with their teeth^G3599.

⁵⁶ and said, “Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Behold^G2400^(G5628), I see^G2334^(G5719) the heavens^G3772 opened^G455^(G5772), and^G2532 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 standing^G2476^(G5761) on^G1537 the right hand^G1188 of God^G2316.

⁵⁷ But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears, then rushed at him with one accord.

KJVThen^G1161 they cried out^G2896^(G5660) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, and stopped^G4912^(G5627) their^G846 ears^G3775, and^G2532 ran^G3729^(G5656) upon^G1909 him^G846 with one accord^G3661,

⁵⁸ They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

KJVAnd^G2532 cast^G1544^(G5631) him out of^G1854 the city^G4172, and stoned^G3036^(G5707) him: and^G2532 the witnesses^G3144 laid down^G659^(G5639) their^G846 clothes^G2440 at^G3844 a young man's^G3494 feet^G4228, whose name was^G2564^(G5746) Saul^G4569.

⁵⁹ They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

KJVAnd^G2532 they stoned^G3036^(G5707) Stephen^G4736, calling upon^G1941^(G5734) God, and^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, receive^G1209^(G5663) my^G3450 spirit^G4151.

⁶⁰ He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

WEB·Acts 6

¹Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.

KJVAnd^G1161 in^G1722 those^G5025 days^G2250, when the number^G4129 of the disciples^G3101 was multiplied^G4129^(G5723), there arose^G1096^(G5633) a murmuring^G1112 of the Grecians^G1675 against^G4314 the Hebrews^G1445, because^G3754 their^G846 widows^G5503 were neglected^G3865^(G5712) in^G1722 the daily^G2522 ministration^G1248.

² The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.

KJVThen^G1161 the twelve^G1427 called^G4341^(G5666) the multitude^G4128 of the disciples^G3101 unto them, and said^G2036^(G5627), It is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 reason^G701 that we^G2248 should leave^G2641^(G5660) the word^G3056 of God^G2316, and serve^G1247^(G5721) tables^G5132.

KJVWherefore^G3767, brethren^G80, look ye out^G1980^(G5663) among^G1537 you^G5216 seven^G2033 men^G435 of honest report^G3140^(G5746), full^G4134 of the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 and^G2532 wisdom^G4678, whom^G3739 we may appoint^G2525^(G5692) over^G1909 this^G5026 business^G5532.

¹⁰ They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

KJVAnd^G2532 they were^G2480 not^G3756 able^G2480^(G5707) to resist^G436^(G5629) the wisdom^G4678 and^G2532 the spirit^G4151 by which^G3739 he spake^G2980^(G5707).

¹³ and set up false witnesses who said, “This man never stops speaking blasphemous words against this holy place and the law.

KJVAnd^G5037 set up^G2476^(G5627) false^G5571 witnesses^G3144, which said^G3004^(G5723), This^G5127 man^G444 ceaseth^G3973^(G5731) not^G3756 to speak^G2980^(G5723) blasphemous^G989 words^G4487 against^G2596 this^G3778 holy^G40 place^G5117, and^G2532 the law^G3551:

¹⁴ For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”

KJVFor^G1063 we have heard^G191^(G5754) him^G846 say^G3004^(G5723), that^G3754 this^G5126 Jesus^G2424 of Nazareth^G3480 shall destroy^G2647^(G5692) this^G3778 place^G5117, and^G2532 shall change^G236^(G5692) the customs^G1485 which^G3739 Moses^G3475 delivered^G3860^(G5656) us^G2254.
